Stuart Curran Symposia

The K-SAA and Byron Society will be mounting one symposium per year from 2016-2018. These symposia form the core of the Romantics Bicentennial initiative and are named in honor of Stuart Curran, for his brilliant, decade-long leadership as President of the K-SAA, during which time he initiated our Symposium series.
